In our latest report, (In)visible Children - Eurochild 2022 report on children in need across Europe, together with our members we urge governments and decision-makers to support the most vulnerable children and prevent widening inequalities.

According to the assessment of Coalition for Children Slovakia, the European Semester Country Report for Slovakia adequately covers child poverty and social exclusion, early childhood education, and education. The country report further outlines that Slovakia is also facing a high rate of school drop-outs and training among Roma children.
